President Donald Trump has reportedly decided to end his predecessor’s program that allows children of undocumented immigrants to stay in the country.

But he will give Congress up to six months to find a legislative alternative, according to news reports.

The Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program, protects "Dreamers" from deportation. But attorneys general from some 10 states, under the belief that the program represents executive overreach, gave the White House until Sept. 5 to end DACA or face litigation.

Officials have sent conflicting signals at times in the past as to what the final decision on the program's fate would be.

Several CNN sources cautioned the decision would not be final until it is announced, which the White House has said will be Tuesday.

Trump campaigned on a promise to end the program, though members of Congress from both parties, administration officials and outside groups are in favor of keeping it in place. Asked Friday in the Oval Office if those in the program should be worried, Trump said “We love Dreamers, we love everyone.”

DACA lets undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before they were 16 the opportunity to remain in the country for school or work, as long as they meet the program's conditions. These "Dreamers," who are primarily Mexican, are given renewable two-year permits for deportation protection. According to data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, nearly 800,000 renewals have been approved since DACA was implemented in 2012.

Friday morning, one of the nation's most prominent Republicans, House Speaker Paul Ryan, supported finding a "fix" for DACA rather than ending it outright.

"I actually don't think he should do that," Ryan said of Trump considering to end the program. "I believe that is something Congress has to fix."

Ryan continued to say that former President Obama didn't have the authority to implement the program through an executive action, but he supports bipartisan efforts of lawmakers to make its protections permanent.

"There are people who are in limbo," he said. "These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don't know another home. And so I really do believe there that there needs to be a legislative solution."

"I've urged the President not to rescind DACA, an action that would further complicate a system in serious need of a permanent, legislative solution," Hatch said. "Like the President, I've long advocated for tougher enforcement of our existing immigration laws. But we also need a workable, permanent solution for individuals who entered our country unlawfully as children through no fault of their own and who have built their lives here. And that solution must come from Congress."
